In Doubt Use Your Common Sense

My success was not based so much on any great

intelligence but on great common sense.”

Helen Gurley Brown, Author and Publisher

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

In doubt use your common sense

 

We all have had that feeling in the pit of our stomach . . . . at one time or another about something that you’re thinking about doing. It’s your common sense coming to the surface . . . . and speaking to you.

 

Your common sense is an enormous resource that you have within you. It can validate an action that your thinking about taking is correct . . . . and it’s the right thing to do. Your common sense is saying yes that you should move forward . . . . Or it can be quietly speaking to you in your feeling . . . . Saying to you that what you’re thinking about doing to is illogical . . . . and that you shouldn’t go forward.

 

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make . . . . is to go against their common sense.

 

Your common sense is a powerful force that you were born with that can guild your thinking in the right direction . . . . and help you to make the right decisions.

 

The person with great common sense has a high level of reasoning . . . . and are rational in their decision making process. Over a life time they will make far better decisions . . . . then the person that does not take advantage of their common sense.

 

A person with great common sense . . . . and good skills will be more effective . . . . and successful than a person with fair common sense and great skills.

 

When you put the power of your common sense to work for you . . . . You’ll find that the power of your common sense creates a strategic business advantage that propels you to a higher level of success.

 

When in doubt use your common sense . . . . to light the path for your success journey . . . . and you will activate the personal power of your common sense.

Excellent advice, but I wonder why there is so much less common sense out there these days. Oh, maybe people just forgot they have it!

Common sense is a great tool - when used.  Likewise, the gut is a great tool when used.

When I was a teenage bride, my spouse (a vet) told me all you need to succeed in life is common sense and if you got that, you keep going and don't give up.

Lou- sometimes I wonder what has happened to common sense.  However, when in doubt, yes, use common sense.

The lack of common sense never fails to amaze me....the thread is on target....as I tell my kids, if something does not make sense, doesn't add up then re-think the situation...

Follow your intuition, and use your common sense - lots of angst and problems can be avoided if you use those two markers.

Lou too often I complain that half the people I run into do not "think" or use "common sense" interestingly mostly I see this problem in Management... in all fairness my Manager is an exception...Endre
